Abstract

Lead titanate thin films were deposited on Pt(111)/Ti/SiO2/Si(100) and RuO2/SiO2/Si(100) substrates using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Atomic force microscopy revealed that films on ruthenium oxide were rougher than films on platinum. Also the grain size of the film on ruthenium oxide was larger than that on platinum. X-ray analysis revealed that the preferred orientations for films on platinum and ruthenium oxide were different. Hysteresis and fatigue tests were performed to evaluate capacitor structures on these substrates. Films on RuO2 had lower coercive fields than films on platinum. Comparison of polycrystalline and oriented films on platinum indicated that the oriented films were easier to switch and fatigued at a slower rate than the polycrystalline films. But long term property (fatigue, imprint) testing on lead titanate resulted in resistance degradation of these contacts, unlike PZT films.
